| | Mobilizing the Curiosity, Attention, and Inventiveness of Future Materials Engineers, Part II: A Fascinating Vision |
 | | In 1985, Binnig and C. Gerber of IBM, along with C. Quate of Stanford University, invented the atomic force microscope. |
| | Since then, every year has seen new inventions in the rapidly growing field of scanning probe microscopes, which are now imaging bits on magnetic surfaces, measuring temperature at microscopic sites, and monitoring the progress of chemical reactions (Figure 1). |
| | Recently, scientists at IBM in San Jose, California, discovered how to move atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope and to position them in a pre-selected pattern (Figure 2). |
